Breakthrough Motion

Read about the benefits and limitations of the new stepper servo control drive technique, and understand why it gets attention from machine designers.

In this white paper, we look at machines with non-Cartesian movement systems. These include nearly all 'armed' robots such as SCARA robots, PUMA-style arms, as well as others.

This design project looks at creating a PCB for a 3-axis gantry controller. One approach uses motion control ICs and the other uses the N-Series ION.

Step motors are known to be noisy and tend to vibrate when moving. This deep dive explains how you can reduce, and in some cases eliminate, step motor noise & vibration problems.

Machine designers are often asked to build systems that take up less space and operate on less power. Read about new developments in motors, sensors, and architectures.

Pumping liquid is at the core of many lab automation systems. This paper details motion control techniques used to pump fluids precisely and accurately.
